After researching carbon footprints and the affects we have on the environment as individuals, put together a news story showing viewers how they currently waste energy in their everyday lives and what they can do to reduce their carbon footprint as a community.
Go to http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/index.htm and use the carbon footprint calculator to figure your personal carbon footprint (or classroom's or school's) through a few multiple choice questions.
- What is your carbon footprint?
- How does this compare to your friends and neighbors?
- How does it compare with other states/countries?
Explore the different things you can do to offset your carbon footprint at http://www.zerocarbonfootprint.co.uk/carbon_footprint.htm,
